Weekend !! What weekend ??

Oh that crazy hectic 2 days called Saturday & Sunday when you're supposed to be having R&R !!! NOT !!!

Thank God it's Monday ... I can have a rest LOL !!!

As you may have gathered by now my weekends are rushed and crazy and the rest of the week I sit around and do nothing ...well theoretically nothing !!! (always seem to be very busy with the nothing !!!)

Saturday had us up bright and early for the Carter Day Tournament at the High School ... that's where we have just about all the squads from Carter High come to our school and take part in sports ... Netball, Girls & Boys Hockey and of course RUGBY !!!!

Kelsey's team played a fantastic game ... started out a bit wobbly giving away a Try and conversion in the early part of the 1st half, but the boys didn't crumble and they pulled together and finally came out victorious scoring 2 Trys against Carter High winning with a score of 10-7 ... Kelsey played a really great game himself... got quite few good photos of him with the ball ... thankfully not too much of a physical game (like duh of course rugby is physical but what I mean is ... not too many bad tackles or serious injuries !!!)

Because it is a BIG tournament and we were hosting it ... our Fund Raising Committee (yes of course I'm on it !!!) were responsible for the catering for the day ... so after watching Kelsey play I was in the pancake van doing my BIT !!! and remained there for the duration of the morning !!!

(Sorry .. what happened to the 1 hour time slot only thing ???? See people it happens everywhere in the world .. there are always the same few helping and they get lumped with doing it all !!! OK I know I could say NO ... but it's not in my nature ... !!! ONE of these days all my good deeds will be rewarded ... but then someone recently told me that you will not get your rewards if you do it unwillingly !!! So that is why then !!! I'll never be rewarded will I cos I bi-atch and moan about it all the time !!! Oh well Que Serra !!!)

Moving forward ... I do believe MOST of the teams won ... so all round HHS sports dept. were happy campers ... of course we had to clean up too .. so by the time we got home it was after 3pm !!! Needless to say the rest of the afternoon was spent recovering ... Although Saturday night the blood pressure went through the roof again ... Sharks vs Bulls ... home game... huge rivals ... Sharks sank !!! badly !!! (but I do believe the Bulls had a certain person looking down on them from up there 'lending a hand' ... !!!)

Sunday I decided I was only going to 'POP' into the Heritage Market Bridal Fair ... after all I did the photo shoot for PheZulu and I wanted to see my work in all it's glory ... I arrived at the Fair at about 12.30pm and eventually got home around about 4pm ... very quick POP in ... but got conned again into taking some photos !!! and now I have Warren on my case again for a CD !!!
I really think I'm going to get 'MUGGINS' permanently tattooed on my forehead ... perhaps that way I will see it and be able to say NO !!!

And we've been hectically studying too ... it's EXAM week this week (well exam fortnight really) half year exams and they count for more than 1/2 of their final marks !!! stresssssssssed ... but I know we have been studying and I truly believe Kelsey will do his best as he always does and make me proud... again as he always does.

OK a strange couple of weeks ahead for us ... he goes to school normal time ... and he's only writing 1 paper a day so I'll be picking him up most days around 11am .. except for training days cos training still takes place !!! Come rain, sleet, shine, snow or exams ... sports continues !!! Then I'll be picking him up ???? aaaargh !!!when I get told to pick him up ... CRAZY ... and I'm supposed to be looking for a job ... how do parents who work cope ???

Then just to ADD to the confusion... this week WEDNESDAY the boys are playing rugby against 1 of their biggest rivals ... Michaelhouse ... AND it's an AWAY game so a quick 'POP' up to Pietermaritzburg ... mid week... middle of exams for a huge game !!! NO PRESSURE ... none whatsoever !!!! AND we are also playing again on Saturday ... another AWAY game at Northwood High ... which happens to have annihilated Glenwood this past weekend ... apparently something not heard of in however so many years !!! so NO PRESSURE there boys either ... carry on with the exams ... keep focused etc.etc.etc.

Oh BOY !!! I'll keep y'all posted ...............
